Well-known masters of American photography have shared their work on the Internet for many years. Though the name Charles Cushman may not arouse even a flicker of recognition, this unsung
camera jockey documented life in America from 1938-1969. Thanks to his donation of 14,500 photos to Indiana University, we all have a chance to savor in the glory of
his work. Cushman was an inveterate shutterbug, snapping
sweeping vistas and
decrepit buildings in his travels across the U.S. He was drawn to the
countryside as well as
the city, and his work reflects a time when American life seemed
slower and
simpler. Jump in the time machine and let Cushman's photos transport you in a way words can't.
